Laura was a student who was interested in the environment.
Should she go to the protest in Berlin tomorrow? No, there were too many
disadvantages. She did not believe that politicians would change anything. Laura
also didn’t have time because she had to read a book for uni. It could be argued that
climate change was more important than studying. However, if she learned enough,
she might become an environmental engineer and develop technologies to reduce
air pollution.
The last problem was that the train ticket was too expensive. Laura’s friend said he
would drive her to Berlin. How would that help the climate?
